Now, the Clinton campaign is blaming the media for what’s gone wrong:
WASHINGTON (CNN) – A spokesman for Hillary Clinton lashed out at the media Monday for what he described as a double standard in the way the press covers the two Democratic White House hopefuls.
On a conference call with reporters Monday afternoon, Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson maintained Barack Obama is running a negative campaign, and said the press largely praises him for doing so.
“I think it is true that every time the Obama campaign in this campaign has attacked Sen. Clinton in the worst kind of personal ways, attacked her veracity, attacked her credibility, said that she would say or do anything to get elected, the press has largely applauded him,” Wolfson said.
Yea, you go with that.
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell said much the same thing:
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) said Monday that the media’s pro-Obama (or anti-Clinton) bias explains in part why Barack Obama is portrayed as running away with the Democratic presidential nomination (instead of being locked in a close fight with Hillary Rodham Clinton).
“The media does not like the Clintons for whatever reason,” Rendell, a Clinton supporter, said in an interview with The Fix. “Maybe some of it’s [the Clintons'] fault, but the media does not like the Clintons.”
Rendell insisted that the “media has relished this fall with glee that I have never seen in any other candidate in the thirty years I have been in the business.” As a result, “Right now the senator can do no wrong,” Rendell said of Obama.
Desperate
